Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Fehlt es dem protestantischen Kultus im ganzen an Fülle, so untersuche man das einzelne, und man wird finden, der Protestant hat zu wenig Sakramente, ja er hat nur eins, bei dem er sich tätig erweist, das Abendmahl: denn die Taufe sieht er nur an andern vollbringen, und es wird ihm nicht wohl dabei.
